Read4Me Reviews

Don’t waste your time here. First off let’s point out that you’re all is one of the more expensive apps of its kind that offers the least. Only a hand full of voices none of which are AI anything but at least none of them are those robot voices either. Next your platform is basic and rudimentary it’s like the MySpace of apps except I can’t modify it to look pretty how I want and for $50 dollars a month no thanks. You’re scan function is very smooth so kudos for that however you have an option to continue having the voice to read to you and you not be in Read4Me it’s self. Well in my experience you it will work for a minute or two then stop. Go back in hit play again work for another sentence or two then stop and then go back in and it will start all over from the top….. yea for $50 bucks a month this is trash not even with the free trial.

I was very excited to find an app like this. As a person with adhd, reading for extending periods of time is very difficult, and having this tool to help with school would have been a life saver. However, in order to use 90% of the features, you have to pay a monthly fee of 50 dollars. 50 stinking dollars. Are you kidding me. At first, I thought this wouldn’t be a problem, I thought you could listen to the picture copies just without certain features. But no, you’re stuck on one speed, and every two sentences an add for the full version pops up. Twice. It stops you from listening, and you have to manually shut it off. The button to stop the pop up is intentionally small. I understand that the devs should get a profit from their work- but this is just shameful. Don’t get Read4Me. You’re better off using text to speech.

It gives you a free-three day trial and after your first day, your trial “has expired”. From there the only prompt to come up is there premium option for $50 a month (which come to find out when I went to cancel was that it comes in 4 different premium packages broken down to as little as $5 for a week). After paying the, premium month deal, it would only read one of my four pdf I was hoping to get read out loud. Of that one, it only read 3 of the 14 pages. It would stop randomly and you are only able to fast forward one paragraph at a time. Always starting at the start of the pdf no matter what. When trying to find the pdf through Read4Me ’s web it bugged out and Read4Me would close. More frustrating than anything that I paid for a month long and can’t even get through a whole file

This company is frustrating me. I wouldn’t think apple would market scam apps.

Read4Me didn’t even work for me. I got it to listen to a speech I was preparing for while I laid in bed. It would read any pdfs I tried. I told me after the 3 day trail it would be less than 10 bucks . However since it didn’t work I canceled my subscription before the 3 days. I was still charged afterwards for 50 bucks! What the heck! I have sent 4 emails as well as have tried to call and they phone listed doesn’t work. I found another phone number listed for them and it went to a weird RSVP confirmation voicemail box for who knows what .

Do yourself a favor and just use Mac for reading pdfs. This company will scam you! I am going to report them and report on my credit card.

Or if you like it then have a problem don’t count on a response back.

The page scanner is awful. You will hold it so only a the page you want can be seen and then it somehow grabs 1/3 of the other page and distorts it making it unusable. Then once to finally scan the pages you want it to read, Read4Me randomly closes out on you every few minutes and you have to try to find where you were again. I have another app that scans pages and turns it into perfectly good PDFs that no other app has an issue with, but when I try to import those into Read4Me, it thinks it’s not a PDF.

So in summary, for $50 a month you get an app that can’t scan pages without major issues, won’t import PDFs as it says it does, and crashes every few minutes.

TRASH! 🗑️

I love Read4Me. Giving it 1 star because it will close app unexpectedly when reading I cannot get through the few pages I want to read because app closes and when I open it up to continue with it, it will do the same. I have already deleted saved files but Im still having the same issue. It’s very irritating and frustrating. I already reached out a few months ago but nothing has been resolved. Very sad but I will no longer be using app, as I cannot be throwing my money away with Read4Me and all its glitches.

I downloaded Read4Me for my classes, so basically I used the tree trial thinking it would be free of course I wasn’t using my head. Found out it charged 49 per month. I tried deleting the subscription and tell me WHY it’s not letting me delete it. Worst thing is it kinda went to my fathers account (very bad) and imagine seeing something charged you 50 bucks without knowing u didn’t buy something and apparently someone else did, yeah I know scary. So I'm basically talking to the developer right now, I need my fathers money back. I did NOT mean for this to happen whatsoever so if you can help me out with that then it’ll help a lot, like ALOT.

I absolutely love reading fanfic and Read4Me made it 10 times better so I could be able to work and listen to my favorite stories but for some reason Read4Me makes my phone extremely hot in my pocket and I even try just leaving it out on the table while it plays the still extremely hot and when I check my battery health it was at 98 and now it’s 95 which is terrifying. Love everything about it quite literally don’t have a lot of problems besides the fact that it killed my battery health.

I’ve been on the hunt for apps that improve my news intake.
Read4Me has a lot of things I liked in comparison to other ones of tried.
First off, the premium voices are sooo much nicer than the robotic ones offered by other apps. However, the premium price for Read4Me is BONKERS. $50 a month? In this economy? Who came up with that? Absolutely not. I’ll take the robot voice. And I hate the robotic voice…so I just won’t use it at all.
I also just don’t really like the aesthetic, it’s a bit loud, I like some of the more understated ones I’ve seen in the past.

Decided to try out Read4Me and absolutely loved it at first. I travel a lot and like to listen to articles, books, etc while I’m flying. But if there isn’t a constant internet connection, Read4Me doesn’t work and keeps asking to check the connection. I’m not sure why that’s necessary. Especially for pdf files or ebooks downloaded to my phone. The voices are very nice and the sentences are read w/ fluidity as opposed to sounding robotic like most apps. I may have considered paying the requested amount had I been able to use Read4Me offline.

I wanted to multitask and listen to some classes online. Got the website over and then read the initial page but in order for me to go into my Academy, I have to sign in the sign in uses Google for me to sign in the button is there, but nothing happens I couldn’t sign in, I could sign in with my Apple ID no problem and Read4Me itself that I use for my academy that’s not allowed just regular email sign in. I’m not sure if Read4Me does not allow Social sign it but I sure hope to see if that is the case that it changes in the future, because so many apps have Social sign in now since everybody can cross post. I was frustrated and finally just gave up.

Read4Me is just what I was looking for, as text to speech helps me read school materials much faster with better focus. The 2x speed feature was my favorite part, but it asks you to pay $40/mo to use it. It isn’t worth it because Read4Me crashes and freezes up my device when i try to scroll alongside the text. I restart Read4Me and upload my file again only for the reading to begin from the top. I can select for it to begin reading where it left off after crashing, but it also has a pretty rough, laggy and unresponsive interface so selecting the portion of text you want Read4Me to start reading from is difficult, on top of the fact that it’s one of the features you pay $40/mo for.

I have been using the Free Trial for one day now and I love the idea of Read4Me! It really is cool for someone like me who likes to hear and read along with my book. I think the concept and technology is great, but it keeps crashing before I can scan all the pages. Then it makes me start all over which has become very time consuming. I want to keep the service but I’m worried that it will cause more frustration than help, for my $50 per month. Which I would be happy to pay for a fully functioning service like this. I just wish it was more stable and reliable.

I’m giving Read4Me three stars because it is very laggy and randomly stops in the middle of reading constantly. Sometimes it makes me start from the beginning when it stops. It’s an okay app but the pricing is what’s making me cancel. I don’t think it is worth $10 a week for how much it lags and quits on me. With improvements to the usability I think it would be a lot better.

I’ve been looking for a Text To Speech app like this for a long time all the ones that I found either I had to pay for or didn’t have the specific voice that I want. although one problem it’s not a big problem it’s not a problem that you should look out for whenever I choose a new voice It will play automatically. that’s it

Having Read4Me is so helpful to multitasking. I’m having a little difficulty though navigating the rewind. It may be, me, The navigator. I find every time I want to back up it starts me back to the beginning. But in all fairness I’ve only been using it for a few hours. I guess I’ll know in three days whether it’s worth the monthly fee.

When Read4Me is reading a website back to me, it will stop abruptly. It’s not paused and Read4Me is still running, it just stops speaking. I can press the pause/play button and nothing happens. I can even shut Read4Me down and start it up again and it will still stop abruptly. I love Read4Me but could you fix this issue please?

Very helpful when it comes to listening to PDF files or Websites. Many of the websites or PDF files are pain to read through a phone or small tablet device due to the small screen. Read4Me helps in overcoming that problem by reading out the content of webpage or pdf file.

If you’re a person that prefers someone to read a paragraph to you into of you reading it in your head or by yourself, then this is Read4Me you want to download. Currently, I just downloaded Read4Me so I wouldn’t have to read two paragraphs on my own, and it is free to use! So that’s a plus about Read4Me:)

Turns every web page and pdf file into podcast I can listen to instead of reading slowly. I scan my book with camera and just to listen to it with Read4Me .
